The First Doctor

I’m pretty certain this is the newest audio drama that we’ve listened to, which is kind of interesting because it’s also about the oldest (and one of the best) TARDIS team on the books. Unless, I guess, if you count just The First Doctor and Susan. Which maybe you should, I don’t know. It’s Domain of the Voord, written by Andrew Smith and released September 2014. Domain of the Voord can be purchased for $11 (or your local equivalent) on Big Finish’s website.

This week Trust Your Doctor makes it to the halfway point of the audio drama side-step they did. Which means next week we listen to another first doctor story and then work our way back up again. But this week, it’s The Anachronauts, written by Simon Guerrier and released in January of 2012. The Anachronauts can be purchased for $8 (or your local equivalent) on Big Finish’s website.

This week Kiyan and Dylan watch a special that appears between seasons and has already caused undue confusion as to how to place this into the episode index. At least it has to Dylan. Yes, it’s the Children in Need special The Five Doctors, which unsurprisingly aired on the 23rd of November, 1983. It was written by Terrance Dicks.
